Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is reportedly bracing for a hostile reception from the AC Milan faithful ahead of Sunday’s Serie A derby.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 26-year-old is likely to face backlash from fans due to his controversial actions in February’s Derby d’Italia.
Despite being one of Europe’s most highly rated center-backs, Alessandro Bastoni has found himself in the crosshairs of angry supporters.
Indeed, his theatrical dive in last month’s Serie A clash against Juventus has brought him under heavy scrutiny.
Fans all over the county have booed the Azzurri star since his infamous Derby d’Italia antics.
Inter Milan Center-Back Alessandro Bastoni to Face Backlash from AC Milan Fans
Unfazed by off-field turmoil, Bastoni continues to be the cornerstone of Inter’s defense.
Moreover, nothing will change this weekend, as Cristian Chivu has no intention of benching his defensive stalwart.
However, Bastoni could suffer the same fate as Ronaldo ‘Il Fenomeno,’ whom Inter fans labeled as a ‘traitor’ when he joined Milan in 2007.
Needless to say, the Brazilian legend faced relentless jeers from opposing fans in similar high-stakes showdowns.
Up until now chivu is still the best choice n duin very good job here. Keep it up .
We win this sunday n keep it up till we crowned the scudetto . Don’t forget we also want the Coppa
Milan fans have double motivation against Bastoni to disturb him. Hope he stays cold and defends well like always.
SACK CHIVU!!!
Why?
You haven’t even given a plausible reason why Chivu should be fired.
Incidentally, I’d like to point out that Chivu is doing a very good job after Inzaghi’s collapse… so what more do you want?
Would you rather have a different coach and be in 4th place in Italy? That makes me laugh 🙂
Imagine where Inter would be if these dummies would be in charge LOL.
Hahahha, I feel you, buddy! There wouldn’t even be an Inter as we know and love it.
What a bunch of clowns we have here sometimes…….
Chivu made great job as inexperienced coach. He will do miracle if wins Serie A and Coppa.
